We believe that because games of chance are designed to have odds that favor the house, they are not for the wise. And that a fool and his money are soon parted. Proverbs 14:16 A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident. "I'm gonna break the bank!" "Losing is for Losers, not me" We believe that it is a show of vanity(see above quote). It is the attitude that you will win while everyone else loses. Ecclesiastes 5:10 He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity. We believe that gambling is a public display of the love of money,and therefore sinful. 1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. We believe that gambling losses, which statistics prove are by far the normal result of gambling, are not the wise use of God given resources. Men must manage what God gives him faithfully and wisely. 1 Corinthians 4:2 Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful..(Stewards manage things) We believe that gambling will only leave you broke.We need to work for money. Proverbs 13:11 Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase. Granny. I don't claim to speak for all of anybody. If you believe the Bible, then you must agree with me. If you don't. then please study the Bible prayerfully, and also pray for guidance from the Holy Spirit, and see what conclusion you come to then. You have been presented the Truth, and what you do with it is your choice, and responsibility.
